Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.?
Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
Much of Canada’s forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper. According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp. ?
Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces fibre which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships’ cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests. ?
However, there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, so useful for fibre, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis, related to the plant from which marijuana is produced. In the late 1930s, a movement to ban the drug marijuana began to gather force, resulting in the eventual banning of the cultivation not only of the plant used to produce the drug, but also of the commercial fibre-producing hemp plant. In fact, marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant, since it contains almost no THC (the active ingredient in the drug).?In recent years, a movement for legalization have been gathering strength. It is concerned only with the hemp plant used to produce fibre; this group wants to make it legal to cultivate the plant and sell the fibre for paper and pulp production.?
21.Why is pulp and paper production important to Canada??
A) Canada needs to find a way to use all its spare wood.?
B) Canada publishes a lot of newspapers and books.?
C) Pulp and paper export is a major source of income for Canada.?
D) Hemp is a traditional plant of Canada.?
22.Why was the plant hemp essential to world-wide trade in the past??
A) Ships’ ropes were made from it.?
B) Hemp was a very profitable export.?
C) Hemp was used as fuel for ships.?
D) Hemp was used as food for sailors.?
23.Why do agriculturalists think that hemp would be better for paper production than trees??
A) It is cheaper to grow hemp than to cut down trees.?
B) More paper can be produced from the same area of land.?
C) Hemp produces higher quality paper.?
D) It causes less pollution of the environment.?
24.Why was hemp banned??
A) It is related to the marijuana plant.?
B) It can be used to produce marijuana.?
C) It was no longer a useful crop.?
D) It was destructive to the land.?
25.“According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees.” ——What does “proponents” mean??
A) People who are against something.?
B) People who support something.?
C) People in charge of something.?
D) People who do research on something.?

Passage Two?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?
I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.?
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical(圣经的)passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.?
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”?
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.?After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.?
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.?
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.?
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t?”?
“What do you mean?”?
“Well…that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”?
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.?
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”?
26.In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “____.”?
A) Unintentionally B) Inevitably?C) Impressively D) Unconditionally?
27.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ____.?
A) with his family
B) with Evelyn?
C) alone
D) with his children?
28.During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ____.?
A) she looked lovely in her new clothes?
B) he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm?
C) he was determined to be a good husband?
D) she was seriously ill?
29.The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What was the one thing that went wrong??
A) He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.?
B) She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.?
C) He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.?
D) He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.?
30.By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ____.?
A) he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life?
B) he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband?
C) he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change?
D) he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before?

Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists envision the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory (分子运动论), in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.?A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists’ predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.?Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henry Poincare said:“ Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house.”? Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses.?
In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist’s thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.?
31.What is NOT true about a theory??
A) A useful theory can explain past observations.?
B) A useful theory helps to make predictions.?
C) A theory is the truth that does not need to be tested.?
D) A theory may have to be revised or rejected sometimes.?
32.Science involves ____.?
A) imagination and creative thinking?
B) collecting information?
C) performing experiments?
D) all of the above?
33.The key point of the quotation from Jules Henry Pincare is that ____.?
A) facts are the most important things?
B) building a house is like performing experiments?
C) science is more than a collection of facts?
D) a pile of bricks can not be called a house?
34.In Paragraph 4, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they ____.?
A) evaluate previous work on a problem?
B) formulate possible solutions to a problem?
C) gather known facts?
D) close an investigation?
35.In Paragraph 5, the author refers to a hypothesis as “a leap into the unknown” in order to show that hypotheses ____.?
A) go beyond available facts?
B) are sometimes ill-conceived?
C) can lead to dangerous results?
D) require efforts to formulate?

Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?
Practically speaking, the artistic maturing of the cinema was the single-handed achievement of David W Griffith (1875-1948). Before Griffith, photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage. From the beginning of his career as a director, however, Griffith, because of his love of Victorian painting, employed composition. He conceived of the camera image as having a foreground and a rear ground, as well as the middle distance preferred by most directors. By 1910, he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting. Extreme long shots were adopted to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance. His exploration produced amazing dramatic effects. By splitting an event into fragments and recording each from the most suitable camera position, he could significantly make the emphasis change from camera shot to camera shot.?
Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing. By juxtaposing images and varying the speed and rhythm of their presentation, he could control the dramatic intensity of the events as the story progressed. Despite the reluctance of his producers, who feared that the public would not be able to follow such a story, Griffith persisted and experimented and these practices have become standard ever since. ?
Besides developing the cinema’s language, Griffith immensely broadened its range and treatment of subjects. His early movies included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatment of social issues. When he made a new movie in 1911, he insisted that a subject of importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel. One of his movies reached the unprecedented length of four reels, or one hour’s running time. Griffith’s introduction of the American-made multi-reel picture began an immense revolution.?
36.The primary purpose of the passage is to ____.?
A) discuss the importance of Griffith to the development of cinema?
B) describe the impact on cinema of the flashbacks and other editing innovations?
C) show Griffith’s impact on the choice of subject matter in American films?
D) criticize the state of American cinema before the Griffith?
37.The author suggests that Griffith’s film innovations had a direct effect on all of the following except ____.?
A) film editing C) camera work?B) scene composing D) sound editing?
38.It can be inferred from the passage that before 1910 the normal running time of a film was ____.?
A) 15 minutes or less?
B) between 30 and 45 minutes?
C) between 15 and 30 minutes?
D) one hour or more?
39.It can be inferred that Griffith would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements??
A) The good director will attempt to explore new ideas as quickly as possible.?
B) The most important element contributing to a film’s success is the ability of the actors.?
C) The camera should be considered an integral and active element in the creation of a film. ?
D) The cinema should emphasize serious and sober examinations of fundamental human problems.?
40.The author’s attitude toward photography in the cinema before Griffith can be best described as ____.?
A) sympathetic B) amused?C) nostalgic D) condescending

The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors” of the promising migrant. The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different peoples, sometimes because they are on different stages of their lives, or just ?because their varying abilities and personalities. The prospect of pulling up stakes and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to a young, footloose man and frightening difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and young children. Similarly, the need to learn a new language and customs may intrigue one person and frighten the other.?
Regardless from why people move, migration of large ?number of people causes friction. The United States and other “receiving” countries (the term used for countries that welcome large number of immigrants) have experienced adjustment problems with each new wave of immigrants. The newest arrivals are usually giving the jobs with lowest pay and are resented by natives who may have to compete with them for those jobs. It has usually taken several decades for each one to gain acceptance in the mainstream of society in the receiving country.

Passage One?
For centuries, parrots have been prized pets because of their strange talent for imitating human speech. They are able to hear vocal ranges, memorize the tones, and then repeat what they have heard. Often this skill is used to entertain people. But recently, an Amazon parrot, named Baby, was able to put this ability to work by helping police break up a gang of burglars responsible for over $50,000 in property theft.?
Baby helped the police to identify the gang of thieves. A recent robbery victim reported to the Baytown, Texas police that her parrot, Baby started acting strangely and saying new phrases after the robbery. Before the robbery, Baby had only a twenty-eight vocabulary; afterwards, the bird started saying the additional phrases “Come back, Robert!” and “Come here, Ronnie!”.?
The police detectives were delighted. Although one man had already been arrested, Ronnie and Robert were the names of their two top suspects who were believed to have aided the first man. Under questioning, this suspect explained what had happened. When the robbers entered the house, they heard Baby talking and thought that someone was home. Ronnie and Robert began running away, while the third man yelled for them to come back. Baby remembered this incident and recorded their voices in her memory.?
11.Who is Baby??
12.How did Baby help the police??
13.How many words was Baby able to say before the robbery??
14.Which of the following would be the best title for this talk??

I ’m having problems living with Colin. We’ve barely spoken to each other in a month, and when we do, it’s to fight. It started when we first moved in. I had a lot of things, and Colin wasn’t thrilled. He’s not easy to please, you know. I put all my stuff in the closet in the kitchen. This made him really upset because he wanted to put his surfing gear in there. What’s more, I like a neat, orderly apartment, but Colin is so carefree. His part of the apartment is always a mess. That’s ok if he’s just messy in his room, but we also share living space, such as the kitchen, living room, bath etc. I have tried talking to him about this, but then he starts yelling at me about how my friends are always coming over when he has a lot of work to do. I don’t know what to do. The head resident promised to talk to Colin. I will see how it goes. If I still have a problem at the end of week, I will ask for a room to change.?

Passage Three?
Yoga becomes very popular nowadays, but it is important that we understand a few facts about it. First of all, it is not a religion. Yoga is a way of life and can serve only to improve your present way of life. Yoga is an exact science and a delicate art. Secondly, be as mechanical as possible. Never strain or pull too much. Forcing will cause your body to resist and will actually slow down or even prevent your progress. Go gently. Stretch up to the point where it would start to hurt, then stop immediately. The key is the proper breathing through the nostrils with the mouth shut. Usually it is best to practise alone in a room with fresh air, wearing little or no clothing. Never practise on a full stomach because an empty stomach permits greater flexibility. Exercise will benefit your general health. Yoga cannot add or reduce pounds from your figure; only eating less or more food can do that. Always remember that diet affects weight, while exercise affects shape. Neither can do the job of the other. ?
18.According to the speaker, what is one thing that yoga should not be classified as??
19.What happens if a person practises yoga on a full stomach??
20.When a person practising a particular yoga exercise has stretched his body to a point where it starts to hurt, what should he do?

Part Ⅱ?
Passage One?
内容概要:?
加拿大是世界上生产纸浆和纸制品的大国。为了保护森林资源,环境学家们提出可以种植麻,用麻纤维造纸。过去人们种植麻用以制造绳索、燃料、油类等,同样面积的土地上种出来的麻造成的纸是树制成纸的四倍。然而在许多国家种植麻是违法的,尽管麻植物并不能制成毒品大麻。人们正在努力使麻种植合法化。
21.【答案】C。?
【译文】因为纸浆和纸制品是加拿大主要的出口收入来源,所以对加拿大来说非常重要。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】原文第一段第二句“According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper”,根据加拿大纸浆和纸制品协会的数据,加拿大提供全世界34%的木浆和49%的新闻纸,由此得知加拿大的纸浆和纸制品出口量大,是加拿大重要的收入来源,所以C)为正确答案。答案A)加拿大要想法用掉多余的木材与人们希望保护森林资源的目的正好相反,答案B)加拿大出版许多报纸和书籍在原文中并未提及,答案D)麻是加拿大的传统植物与问题无关。?
22.【答案】A。?
【译文】过去麻在世界贸易中至关重要是因为船用绳索就是麻制成的。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】原文第二段第三句话“For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships”,几个世纪以来,它对许多国家的经济来说举足轻重是因为它可以用来制造缆绳,所以答案是A)。答案B)麻是利润丰厚的出口产品、C)麻可以制成船用燃料、D)麻可以作水手的食物等在原文中未提及。?
23.【答案】B。?
【译文】农业学家认为麻造纸比用树木好是因为在同样面积土地上,种植麻造纸比种树造纸产量高。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】原文第二段最后一句话“four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests”意思是,环境学家据此认为大规模种植麻将缓解加拿大森林砍伐的压力,由此可见麻造纸的优势在于产纸量大,从而减少树木的砍伐量,保护环境。答案A)种麻比砍树便宜、答案C)麻造的纸质量更好、答案D)麻较少污染环境均与原文不符。?
24.【答案】A。?
【译文】禁止种植麻是因为麻跟制成大麻毒品的植物种类相近。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】原文第三段第二句话“This plant, so useful for fibre, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis, related to the plant from which marijuana is produced”说这种植物非常有用,可以制成纤维,绳索,油类,燃料和织物,但它是大麻属的一种植物,与制成大麻毒品的植物种类相近,所以答案A)是正确答案。原文中还说麻并不能制造大麻毒品,因此答案B)麻可以制成大麻毒品明显是错误的,C)麻不再有用也与原文不符,D)麻对土地具破坏性在原文中并未提到,相反种麻可以减少树木砍伐量,从而保护环境。?
25.【答案】B。?
【译文】“proponent”的意思是支持者。?
【试题分析】词义推测题,根据上下文猜测词义。?
【详细解答】上一句说环境学家们提议用麻代替树木造纸,下一句说根据“proponents”的看法,用麻造纸有很大的好处,所以“proponents”肯定是支持这一建议的人。?
Passage Two?
内容概要:?

26.【答案】D。?
【译文】“No ifs, ands or buts”意思是没有假如、并且和但是,即无条件地。?
【试题分析】词语辨析题。?

28.【答案】C。?
【译文】在海边度假的两周里,Tom对妻子更体贴是因为他决心做一个好丈夫。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】文中开头“I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father”,Tom向自己保证在度假的两周里要做一个好丈夫、好父亲,所以他对妻子非常体贴,答案C)是正确的。答案A)因为妻子穿了新衣服更漂亮,B)因为他在华尔街的公司挣了大钱,D)因为他妻子得了重病都与原文不符。?
29.【答案】D。?
【译文】作者说他的新尝试出了一点问题,这个问题就是他对妻子这么好,让妻子以为自己得了重病,他才这么体贴的。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】原文中提到“On the last night at our cottage”, 妻子问他:“Tom, you’ve been so good to me...am I dying?” 联系到上次在医院的体检,妻子不由得怀疑是不是自己快要死了丈夫才突然变得如此体贴,这就是答案D)所指出的。答案A)他称赞妻子的毛衣,让妻子很困惑,这与原文不符,实际上妻子困惑之余更多的是欣喜;答案B)妻子坚持去他不喜欢去的博物馆不成为问题,因为他愿意陪妻子去;答案C)他没告诉妻子她得了重病与原文不符,因为他妻子并未得重病。?
30.【答案】B。?
【译文】Tom说:“我正重新开始生活”,他的意思是开始享受做好丈夫的新生活。?

Passage Three?
内容概要:?
本文阐述了科学理论的定义、特征和科学家是如何提出科学理论的。科学理论是对相关观察对象的合理解释,此外它还能预测未来。所有的理论都需要验证。科学家要提出新理论,首先要了解其他科学家对某一问题已经获得的成果,然后提出假设,假设需要想象力和创造力,是向未知世界的飞跃。最后,科学家必须验证假设,使其成为理论。?
31.【答案】C。?
【译文】下列关于理论的说法不对的是:理论是真理,不需要检验。?
【试题分析】综合判断题。?
【详细解答】文中第二段第二句话:“After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory”,一个理论公开提出后,科学家设计实验来验证理论,由此可见,C)是错误的说法。A)有用的理论可以解释过去的观察结果,B)有用的理论可以作预测,D)理论有时侯需要修改或可能被舍弃,这几种说法都可以在原文中找到,都是关于理论正确的阐述,所以它们都不是本题的正确答案。?
32.【答案】D。?
【译文】科学必须包含以下各种要素:想象力、创造性思维、搜集信息、做实验。?
【试题分析】综合判断题。?
【详细解答】原文第三段第一句话:“Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments”,科学既包含想象力和创造性思维,也包含搜集信息和做实验。由此可见,答案A)、B)、C)都只说了一个方面,只有答案D)最全面。?
33.【答案】C。?
【译文】Jules Henry Pincary的引言的主要意义是:科学不仅仅是收集事实数据。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?

34.【答案】B。?
【译文】在第四段中,作者指出当科学家制定问题的解决方法的时候想象力最重要。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】第四段中的第二和第三句话是:“After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated”,收集事实数据后的一步需要想象力,在这一步,制定可能的解决问题的方法,所以正确答案是B)。答案A)当评价前人工作的时候、C)收集事实数据的时候、D)结束调查的时候都与原文不符。?
35.【答案】A。?
【译文】第五段中,作者将假设称之为向未知世界的飞跃,这是为了说明假设超越了已知的事实数据。?
【试题分析】词组理解题。?
【详细解答】根据下文的一句:“It extends the scientist’s thinking beyond the known facts”,它使科学家的思维延伸,超出了已知的事实数据,所以正确答案是A)。答案B)假设有时侯考虑不周,C)能带来危险的后果都与原文不符,答案D)提出假设需要付出努力跟“向未知世界的飞跃”这个词组无关。?
Passage Four?
内容概要:?
本文描述了著名导演David W Griffith为电影发展作出的巨大成就。Griffith创新了电影的拍摄手法,使用远景和近景,长镜头和特写,制造出令人称奇的戏剧效果。他还通过富有创意的电影剪辑,糅和各种意象,变换表现速度和节奏,控制故事展开的戏剧效果。除了对电影表现手法的改革,Griffith还拓宽了电影题材。他引入了名作改编电影和关于社会问题的作品,并首次将一部电影的长度延长到四盘电影胶片,而通常电影的长度只有一盘胶片长。?
36.【答案】A。?
【译文】本文的主旨在于论述Griffith对于电影发展的重要性。?
【试题分析】综合判断题,本题要求考生通读全文,抓住主题句,了解文章大意。?
【详细解答】本文第一段是关于Griffith在电影摄影方面的创新,第二段是关于他的独特电影剪辑,第三段则是他对电影题材和长度的革新,总体看来,全文都在展示Griffith对于电影发展的重要性,所以答案A)是正确的。答案B)本文是为了描述倒叙和其它电影剪辑创新对电影业的重大影响,答案C)本文是为了展示Griffith对美国电影题材选择的重大影响都只反映了文章的部分内容,答案D)批评Griffith以前的美国电影状况与原文不符。?
37.【答案】D。?
【译文】作者提出Griffith的电影创新对下列各个方面都产生直接作用,除了音响剪辑。?
【试题分析】细节考察题,在文中找出相关细节,排除不相干的答案。?
【详细解答】原文第二段提到:“Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing”,Griffith通过富有创意的电影剪辑获得戏剧效果,所以答案A)电影剪辑应该排除。第一段提到:“By 1910, he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting. Extreme long shots were adopted to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance”,他运用特写镜头表现场景的细节,长镜头表现壮观的场景和远景,因此Griffith在场景安排和摄影方面都有创新,这样答案B)场景安排和答案C)摄影都应予以排除,只剩下D)音响剪辑是正确答案,因为文中没有提及Gfriffith在这方面的成就。?
38.【答案】A。?
【译文】从文中可以推断出1910年前通常一部电影的放映时间是15分钟或更短。?
【试题分析】细节推理题,通过简单计算得出答案。?
【详细解答】见原文最后一段,“When he made a new movie in 1911, he insisted that a subject of importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel. One of his movies reached the unprecedented length of four reels, or one hour’s running time”,1911年,Griffith拍了一部新片,他坚持说一部重大题材影片不应该只有传统的一盘胶片的长度,他的一部新片达到了前所未有的四盘胶片的长度,即一个小时。传统的电影只有一盘胶片的长度,而四盘胶片放一个小时,那么据此可计算出传统电影的长度不超过15分钟,因此正确答案应该是A)。?
39.【答案】C。?
【译文】从文中可以推断出Griffith最可能同意如下观点:摄影应当被看作是电影创作中一个不可或缺的、活跃的要素。?
【试题分析】判断推理题,根据原文细节判断观点正误。?
【详细解答】答案A)好导演会尽快尝试探索新思想,尽管Griffith尝试创新,但这并不能直接推理出A)观点;答案B)使电影成功的最重要要素是演员的能力在文中并未提及;答案D)电影应该强调对人类根本问题的探索与原文不符,因为Griffith的电影题材非常广泛,文中最后一段说“His early movies included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatment of social issues”,他的早期影片不仅包括标准的喜剧、情节剧、西部片和惊险片,还包括勃朗宁和丁尼生的作品改编电影和社会问题题材的电影。答案C)摄影应当被看作是电影创作中一个不可或缺的、活跃的要素是正确答案,因为Griffith在摄影方面作了很多努力,以获得更好的戏剧效果。?
40.【答案】D。?
【译文】作者对Griffith之前的电影摄影的态度是带着优越感的。?
【试题分析】细节判断题。?
【详细解答】原文这样在第一段提到Griffith之前的电影摄影:“Before Griffith, photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage”,那时的电影摄影仅仅是把演员放到静止的摄像机前,拍下他们的全身像,就象他们站在舞台上的样子。从这句话的语气来看,作者暗示这样做很落后,很呆板,所以他的态度是带着优越感的,认为现代的摄影技术要高得多,所以正确答案是D)。答案A)同情感情色彩过浓,答案B)有趣的和答案C)怀旧的显然与原文不符。?

Competition and Cooperation?
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games; we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, customers, money, and so forth. We can say, to some extent, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of society. ?
We can also find competition and cooperation at the same time. Take a baseball game for example. One team is competing against the other. All the players want to try their best to defeat their opponents and win the game, but the single-handed effort of one player is limited and each member of the team has to cooperate with his or her teammates. In most cases, we cannot win in the competition without cooperation. Thus competition and cooperation are equally important. While we are advocating competition, we cannot forget cooperation. Pure and exclusive competion leads to conflicts and failures. Only cooperation in competition can help us reach our goals and satisfy our needs. ?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.? Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
Opinion polls are now beginning to show that,whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to say.This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.?
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work??
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now becoming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.?
Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live.?
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.?
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.?
All this may now have to change.?
The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. ?
21.What is the main idea of the passage??
A) Employment became widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries.?
B) Unemployment will remain a major problem for industrialized nations.?
C) The industrial age may now be coming to an end.?
D) Some efforts and resources should be devoted to helping more people cope with the problem of unemployment. ?
22.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the spread of employment??
A) The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries.?
B) The development of factories.?
C) Relief from housework on the part of women.?
D) Development of modern means of transportation. ?
23.It can be inferred from the passage that____.?
A) most people who have been polled believe that the problem of unemployment may not be solved within a short period of time?
B) many farmers lost their land when new railways and factories were being constructed?
C) in preindustrial societies housework and community service were mainly carried out by women?
D) some of the changes in work pattern that the industrial age brought have been reversed?
24.What does the word “daunting” in the third paragraph mean??
A) Shocking B) Interesting?
C) Confusing D) Stimulating ?
25.Which of the following is NOT suggested as a possible means to cope with the current situation??
A) Create situations in which people work for themselves.?
B) Treat employment as the norm.?
C) Endeavor to revive the household and the neighborhood as centers of production.?
D) Encourage people to work in circumstances other than normal working conditions.?

Passage Two?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:? No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. ?
There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? ?
Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse. ?
26.The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage was to ____. ?
A)plead for the abolishment of uniforms?
B)show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic society?
C)advocate stronger governmental controls on the wearing of uniforms?
D)convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages ?
27.Why does the author discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or eat the same food? ?
A) To show that freedom of choice is absolute.?
B) To show that the government has interfered too much in the lives of individual.?
C) To suggest what would happen if uniforms became compulsory.?
D) To predict the way the society will be in the next few generations. ?
28.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author? ?
A) The person who wears a uniform has no self-worth.?
B) Wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger concept.?
C) Uniforms will hurt one entire information and entertainment industry.?
D) Envy and competition are incentive to improve one’s life. ?
29.The word “superfluous” (Para. 3) most probably means ____. ?
A) indispensable B) available?
C) surplus D) supplementary ?
30.The next paragraph in this passage might discuss____.?
A) the positive effects of wearing uniforms?
B) more negative effects of wearing uniforms?
C) alternative to wearing uniforms?
D) the legal rights of those not wishing to wear uniforms? Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:? A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal - a poisonous snake or a wild cat - we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one’s own, but if we take account of the long competition, which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal man - indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man - human rage becomes more comprehensible. ?
In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of “us” and “them” is the touchstone of the two-party system of “democratic” politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of these modern psychological representations of the “us and them” emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it. ?
The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted. ?
31.A suitable title for this passage would be____. ?
A) Why Human Armies Are Formed?
B) Man’s Anger Against Rage?
C) The Human Capacity for Rage?
D) Early Struggles of Angry Man ?
32.According to the author, the surprising aspect of human anger is____. ?
A) its lengthy and complex development?
B) a conflict such as is now going on in Northern Ireland?
C) that we do not fly into a temper more often?
D) that we reserve anger for mankind ?
33.The passage suggests that____. ?
A) historically, we have created an “us” versus “them” society?
B) humans have had a natural disinclination toward formal grouping?
C) the First World War is an example of how man has always avoided domination?
D) the emotional origin of the war in Ireland is lost in time ?
34.From the passage we can infer that ____. ?
A) the artificial creation of a subspecies unlike us is something that never happens?
B) games are psychologically unhealthy?
C) any artificially created subspecies would be our enemy?
D) the real or imagined existence of an opposing subspecies is inherent in man’s activities ?
35.The author believes that a religious explanation for the war in Northern Ireland is____. ?
A) founded in historical fact
B) deceptive?
C) apparent
D) probably accurate? Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:? The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person. It is concerned with describing and explaining language as a matter of human behavior. People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so; they have to acquire these skills. Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree. People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology, a particular sort of behavior, the behavior, which has as its principal, function that of communication.?
The trouble with the term “behavior” is that it is often taken to refer only to more or less overt, and describable, physical movements and acts. Yet part of language behavior-that of understanding spoken or written language, for example-has little or no physically observable signs. It is true we can sometimes infer that understanding has taken place by the changes that take place in the other person’s behavior. When someone has been prohibited from doing something, we may infer that he has understood the prohibition by observing that thereafter he never behaves in that way. We cannot, of course, be absolutely sure that his subsequent behavior is a result of his understanding; it might be due to a loss of interest or inclination. So behavior must be taken to include unobservable activity, often only to be inferred from other observable behavior.?
Once we admit that the study of language behavior involves describing and explaining the unobservable, the situation becomes much more complicated, because we have to postulate some set of processes, some internal mechanism, which operates when we speak and understand. We have to postulate something we can call a mind. The study of language from this point of view can then be seen as a study of the specific properties, processes and states of the mind whose outward manifestations are observable behavior; what we have to know in order to perform linguistically.?This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual, is thus principally concerned with explaining how we acquire language, and its relation to general human cognitive systems, and with the psychological mechanisms underlying the comprehension and production of speech; much less with the problem of what language is for, that is, its function as communication, since this necessarily involves more than a single individual. ?
36.What is the best title for this passage??
A) Language as Means of Communication.?
B) Language and Psychology.?
C) Language and the Individual.?

B) People develop language skills of different degrees as a result of different personal experiences.?
C) Language is a special kind of psychological behavior that is born with an individual.?
D) People learn to speak and write through imitation and training. ?
38.What does the term “behavior” in the second paragraph especially refer to in this passage??
A) It refers to observable and physical movements and acts.?
B) It refers to the part of language behavior that involves understanding or interpretation.?
C) It refers to both the overt and the unobservable language behaviors in communicating.?
D) It refers to acts of speaking and writing. ?
39.What does “internal mechanism”(Line 3, Para. 3) mean??

If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank.? We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar as ours.?
You may have noticed about how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admired fan; a pair or lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employer finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging (摆动) a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may consciously notice the imitation but he will feel comfortably in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to them.?
Sensitive people have been mirroring their friend and acquaintances all their lives., and winning affection and respect in this way without aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical imitation. 71.__________?

Part Ⅱ?
Passage One?

内容概要:?
根据民意测验的结果,失业率居高不下可能会持续一段时间,因而我们得想办法让更多的人来分享现有的工作,这就需要人们改变以往的工作观念,以获得更多的就业机会。从历史的角度来看,多方面的因素使得人们越来越依赖于有报酬的工作,但就业使得妇女、青少年和上了年纪的人处于劣势,带来了社会问题。因此,现在该是转变思想的时候了。?
21.【答案】D。?
【译文】根据短文得知,应该花些精力和才力来帮助更多的人解决失业问题。?
【试题分析】主旨大意题。通过找文章的主题句以及各段落主题句可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见文章开篇段Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to say. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely和结尾段The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs。所以答案为D。?
22.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,妇女从家务劳动中解放出来不是就业普及的因素。?
【试题分析】 是非题。一误三正,通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见文章第四段中提到工作普及的三个原因:Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries (22A对) made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system (22B对)destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved (22D对), first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live。这段话中没有提到C,所以答案为C。?
23.【答案】A。?
【译文】根据短文得知,接受民意测试的大多数人认为失业问题可能在短期内得不到解决。?
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到原文找相关的句子来推断,便可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第三段第二句话“The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed”, 可选项D中为have been reversed,因而排除选项D;根据第五段第二句In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community男女共同承当劳动,可以排除C;根据第四段第一句话the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land,可以排除B;根据第一段内容high unemployment is probably here to say,答案为A。?
24.【答案】A。?
【译文】根据短文得知,工业时代带来的一些工作模式上的变化可能必须颠倒过来,这似乎是一个令人奇怪的想法。?
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第三段The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work。通过第四句话“但实际上它可以为工作提供一个更好的前景。”中的转折含义可以断定最接近daunting的词义为A。 ?
25.【答案】B。?
【译文】根据短文得知,把就业作为标准来看待不能解决当前失业问题。?
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正,通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第二段中提出的解决办法:We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? (25B不对) Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work?(25D对) Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves(25A对), rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? (25C对)。以上几个问句都是修辞疑问句,肯定形式作否定理解,否定形式作肯定理解。所以答案为B。?
Passage Two?
内容概要:?
本文讨论了在任何情况下,都不能强迫一个人穿制服。制服的作用在于告诉人们穿制服的个人是没有价值的,他只不过是集体的一部分。有人认为穿制服给人一种集体认同感,但这世上还有什么比个人更重要的呢?也有人认为穿制服的做法,比如说穿校服,能够消除人们之间的羡慕与竞争,至少在服装方面是这样的,但是没有了羡慕和竞争,也就自然没有了激励人们改善生活的上进心。另外,穿制服对信息工业和娱乐业也产生负面影响。?
26.【答案】D。?
【译文】根据短文得知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是说服读者制服的缺点比优点多。?
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句以及各段落主题句可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见文章开篇段第一句No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance可以看出,穿制服不好,接下来简要说明原因:Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth。所以答案为D。?
27.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,强迫每个人买同样的车,吃同样的食物,作者举这两个例子是用来说明如果强迫人们穿制服,会是什么结果。?
【试题分析】类比题。通过类比的例子可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. 如果每个人都被迫做同样的事,包括被迫穿制服,那么其结果是all incentive to improve one’s life is removed。因而答案为C。?
28.【答案】B。?
【译文】根据短文得知,穿制服给人一种集体认同感,这一说法是错误的。?
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正,通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。 ?
【详细解答】见第一段最后一句The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth, A说法是对的。根据第二段第一句There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept,有人赞成穿制服gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept,但接下来一句What could be more important than the individual himself?反驳了该观点,因而B说法不对。根据文章最后三句:The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse。特别是根据最后一句可以看出,C说法是对的。根据第二段里的意思: envy and competition...It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. 人们失去了envy and competition,什么都要求一致,也就失去了改善生活的动力,从正面来说,答案为B。?
29.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,推销员也成了多余的了。?
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第三段里的If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well,特别是as well, 可以看出superfluous与unnecessary是近义词,因而答案是C。 ?
30.【答案】B。?
【译文】根据短文得知,这篇文章的下一段将可能进一步讨论穿制服的负面影响。?
【试题分析】推断题。通过文章的宏观结构可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见文章开篇第一句即主题句,说“在任何情况下都不能强迫一个人穿制服。”以下两段从不同方面说明穿制服不好,文章没有结尾,接下来可能继续讨论穿制服不好。所以答案是B。?
Passage Three?
内容概要:?
本文介绍人类所具有的盲目的愤怒。愤怒可能是来自于求生本能的一种情感,但令人奇怪的是,人类从不把愤怒发泄到其他动物身上,而是在同种类的人身上。在我们日常生活的言语行为中,我们常常使用“我们与他们”这样的字眼,“我们”这边最终要战胜“他们”那边。在各种比赛中,我们也人为地制造出自己的对立面。人类这种“我们与他们”的心态导致了人与人之间毁灭性的冲突。?
31.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,文章合适的标题可能是人类的愤怒。?
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见文章开篇第一句,即主题句:A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage。 所以答案为C。 ?
32.【答案】D。?
【译文】根据短文得知,令人奇怪的是,人类的愤怒总是发泄在同种类的人身上。?
【试题分析】细节题。通过题干回到文章中找对应的地方便可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第一段第二句but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals,和第五句We reserve rage for our own species,所以答案为D。?
33.【答案】A。?
【译文】根据短文得知,文章暗示从历史的角度来看,我们人为地制造了一个“我们”与“他们”相对立的社会。?
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到文章中找对应的地方便可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见最后一段:The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted,所以答案为A。?
34.【答案】D。?
【译文】从本文我们可以推断出在人类活动中,作为对立面的亚种类是真实存在的,或者是想象出来的。?
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到文章中找相关的句子来推断,便可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第二段段首:In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack,所以答案为D。?
35.【答案】B。?
【译文】根据短文得知,作者相信,从宗教的角度来解释北爱尔兰战争是迷惑人的。?
【试题分析】词义题。通过对文章中illusionary的理解便可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见最后一段第四句:The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory(迷惑人的,虚幻的), 所以答案为B。?
Passage Four?
内容概要:?
本文介绍了作为个人现象的语言,可以被看作是对人类行为的描述和解释。人能说会道,但这些技能都是后天习得。语言是人类心理活动的一部分,它是一种特别的行为。“行为”一词多用来指在一定程度上外显的、可描述的身体活动或行动,但一部分语言行为却几乎没有或根本没有外显的标志。因此,语言行为应该包括非外显的活动在内。既然语言行为包括外显和非外显的行为,我们就得建立起某种内在机制,这种内在机制在我们说话或理解别人话语时起作用。?
36.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,文章的标题是语言与个人。?
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见开篇句:The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person和结尾段第一句:This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual...,这两个句子里都提到了language 和the individual,所以答案为C。 ?
37.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,语言是一种特殊的心理行为,是与生俱来的。?
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正,通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。?
【详细解答】见第一段里句子People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so (37C不对); they have to acquire these skills (37D对). Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree(37B对). People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology (37A对), 所以答案为C。 ?
38.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据短文得知,第二段里的behavior一词既指交际中外显的语言行为,又指非外显的语言行为。?
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。?

The Development of Private Cars?
There is no denying the fact that the development of private cars is a popular topic which is much talked about. Yet opinions of it vary from person to person.?Some people claim that there are many advantages in possessing a car. A car offers a greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by waiting for buses or taxis. With a car he can go where he likes and when he wants, so that he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the countryside or seaside on weekends, instead of being confined to his immediate neighborhood. ?
However, others strongly object to the development of private cars. They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the streets, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere. Furthermore, private cars contribute to traffic congestion that makes a great nuisance.?
So far as I am concerned, I fully believe that the advantages of private cars outweigh their disadvantages. What’s more, there are at least two effective ways to cope with the demerits. The first way to tackle it is to appeal to the authorities to take drastic measures to produce less poisonous cars. The other policy that is worth adopting is to build up more roads to reduce the traffic jam. In this way we can succeed in dealing with the problem and make full use of private cars.? 本套试卷测试语言重点?

Part  Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?

  Scientists say there has been a severe decrease in the amount of water in Lake Chad in northern Africa in the last thirty years. They report that nature and humans share equal blame for this loss.In 1963 the fresh water lake covered twenty-five-thousand-square kilometers.Now the lake is only about five percent of that size.It measures only about one-thousand-three-hundred square kilometers in the dry season. ?
  Four nations surround Lake Chad. People in Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon use it for water, fish and plant life.?Michael Coe and Jonathan Foley are water experts at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.They reported about Lake Chad in the Journal of Geophysical Research.They say the area has suffered from a lack of heavy rain for more than thirty years.This has forced people to build systems to carry water to dry land.These irrigation systems further decrease the lake. ?
  Mister Coe says Lake Chad will be only a small body of water in the future. He says people still can get water from the lake to drink and for crops. But he says the lake will no longer provide a healthy environment for fish and plant life. ?
The researchers used a computer to study what caused the water loss. Their computer study estimated the climate and amount of water in the area. The estimate started with the early 1960s. Then the researchers compared the estimates with the area’s recorded climate and water supply for the same period. ?
  The computer study showed results similar to the recorded ones for the first twenty years. But there was a big change in the 1980s. At that time, the lake got smaller much faster than the computer research had estimated. ?
  The researchers say major irrigation systems were built in the 1980s. The systems took water from two rivers that flow into Lake Chad. The Chari and Logone rivers carry most of the water that enters the lake. The study showed the increased irrigation reduced the flow in the two rivers. Climate changes also were responsible for the reduction. Today the flow of the two rivers has been reduced by almost seventy-five percent.?
  Scientists say the problem is expected to worsen in the coming years as the population and demand for water continue to increase. ?
21.What is this passage mainly about??
A) Demonstrating the serious weather condition around Lake Chad. ?
B) Introducing people’s activity around Lake Chad.?
C) Analyzing of the factors that cause water decreases in Lake Chad.?
D) Introducing scientists’ work about water condition in Lake Chad.?

22.What did people do to solve the problem of rain lack around Chad Lake??
A) They moved out of this area.?
B) They drew water from Lake Chad.?
C) They carried water from other areas.?
D) They utilize seawater near this area.?

23.Which of the following is true according to this passage??
A) Chad Lake located in the middle of Chad in northern Africa.?
B) The water from Chad water can now only be used for irrigation.?
C) The area around Chad Lake has suffered from heavy rain lack many decades.?
D) Population around the Chad Lake now begins to decrease due to water lack.?

24.Why computer data become imprecise in 1980s? ?
A) The related programs on the computer were out of date. ?
B) More and more people drew water directly from the lake for drink. ?
C) A heavy rain happened around 1980. ?
D) The irrigation from the source water increases.?

25. What is scientists’ attitude towards the future of Chad Lake??
A) Pessimism.     B) Hopeful. ?
C) Indifferent.  D) Doubtful.?

Passage Two?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?
  Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees.The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars,factories and other human activities.The gas traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere,which warms the planet.However,two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as had been thought. ?
  The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped extra carbon dioxide into a test area where pine trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients, such as nitrogen.?
  In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.?
  The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited value in planting trees to reduce the carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.?
  Forest planting has been a part of negotiations on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other industrial countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful.?
  Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide. Other scientists say the research disputes a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.?
26.What is the purpose of this passage??
A) Introduce some new ideas about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide.?
B) Introduce recent condition of global industrial pollution.?
C) Call on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases.?
D) Point out that power companies should be responsible for the rising levels of carbon dioxide.?

27. Why researchers put trees in extra carbon dioxide in the first study??
A) To learn whether trees can still absorb carbon dioxide under extreme conditions.?
B) To get more oxygen from these trees.?
C) To evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide that trees can absorb.?
D) To see the growth rate of these trees.?

28.What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study??
A)They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.?
B)They broke down and the carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide.?C)They broke down and the carbon content was mainly absorbed in the soil.?
D)They absorbed more carbon dioxide.?

29.Scientist Ram Oren is of the opinion that common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide are____.?
A) biased     B) insightful?
C) overoptimistic  D) totally wrong?

30.The word “it” (Line 7, Para.6) probably refers to ____.?
A) carbon dioxide B) nitrogen?
C) atmosphere D) coal?

Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?

An American scientist has found that many images of dinosaurs may be wrong. For years, pictures of the ancient creatures have shown their nose openings near the top of the head. The new study suggests the dinosaurs’ nostrils were just above the mouth.?
Dinosaurs used their nostrils to breathe,smell and control their body temperature.The new theory could help explain how the huge creatures were able to survive by using their sense of smell to find food,a mate and possible enemies. ?
Lawrence Witmer of Ohio University in Athens,Ohio led the study.The publication science reported his findings.?
Many of the early dinosaur remains recovered by scientists were from huge creatures called sauropods. Scientists believed that sauropods must have lived in water because their bodies were so huge and their necks were so long.?
Nostrils high on the head would have permitted the dinosaurs to breathe while partly under water. The discovery of a sauropod head bone in 1884 added support for this belief. The skull had a large hole at the top of the head. ?
Professor Witmer says experts learned years later that sauropods generally were not sea creatures. But he says the earlier theory about nostril position was extended to other dinosaurs. ?
Only dinosaur bones have survived as fossil remains. Scientists have never recovered dinosaur remains of soft tissue. Scientists interested in the physical appearance of dinosaurs often study birds and animals similar to the ancient creatures. Professor Witmer examined forty-five kinds of birds, crocodiles and lizards that are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. He noted the placement of soft tissue through hundreds of x-ray images and by cutting pieces of tissue. Soft tissue leaves markings on bone. Professor Witmer used this information to make a map of the likely position of soft tissue in the dinosaurs’ noses. He found that the birds and reptiles he studied share a common nostril position.?

Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?

Carbon dioxide makes up less than one percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. But the gas is very important to life on Earth. Scientists are finding that processes involving carbon dioxide affect our climate in ways that are difficult to understand.? Last month, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington released a report. It confirmed that world temperatures increased about six-tenths of a degree Celsius in the last one hundred years. The report also confirmed evidence that the level of carbon dioxide is increasing. ?
The best information about climate in the past comes from tests of ice many kilometers deep in Antarctica and Greenland. The tests show changes in temperature during the past four-hundred-thousand years. These tests show that levels of carbon dioxide today are the highest ever measured. These findings have led scientists to believe that carbon dioxide is a major cause of climate warming. ?
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when fuel is burned. Oil, coal and wood are all fuels that release the gas. When biological waste breaks down, it also releases carbon dioxide. ?
However, plants use carbon dioxide in the process called photosynthesis. This process provides food for almost all life on Earth. Some groups that support burning oil and coal want to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They oppose international efforts to control carbon dioxide.?
Some scientists believe that forests and trees are able to capture large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air. Some groups even suggest that an increase in carbon dioxide could cause plants to grow faster.?
A recent study in North Carolina found that more carbon dioxide in the air could cause trees to grow faster. But the researchers found the effect appears to last for only three years. Another study showed that much of the carbon dioxide that is taken in by trees is released within three years. The study noted that leaves release carbon dioxide when they fall from trees and break down in the soil. Plants also naturally release carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. ?
The natural balance of gases in the atmosphere is a complex scientific issue. The debate over carbon dioxide is only one part of efforts to understand world climate change.?
36.Which one is NOT mentioned in this passage that can be the source of carbon dioxide??
A) Oil.  B) Trees.?C) Wood. D) Soil.?

37.The committee report of National Academy of Sciences in Washington reveal that____.?
A) ice from Antarctica and Greenland is appropriate to show the change?
B) carbon dioxide is released mainly from the fuel?
C) level of carbon dioxide increases with global temperatures?
D) carbon dioxide is helpful for tree growth?

38.According to this passage, those people disagree with the control of carbon dioxide because____.?
A) they think that carbon is beneficial for plant growth?
B) they want to use more fuels that can emit carbon dioxide?
C) they think carbon dioxide is not the main reason for global warming?
D) they think it will destroy the natural balance of gases in the world?

39.The word “issue” in the last paragraph can be replaced as ____.?
A) organ B) topic?C) publication D) result?

40.Those studies carried out in North Carolina suggest that ____.?
A) trees’ function for absorbing carbon dioxide is limited?
B) carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming?
C) leaves falling from trees can emit more oxygen?
D) more carbon dioxide is beneficial for trees’ growth for many decades

Passage One?
Experts say some farming activities are seriously damaging Earth’s environment. Bad farming methods can damage soil, forests and water supplies. They also have caused some plants and animals to disappear. Two groups now say that bad farming methods are threatening the ability of farmers to produce enough food to feed the world population in the future. ?
The groups used satellite images, maps and modern equipment to study the effect of agriculture on the environment. The study found that the destruction of soil is widespread. Important organic nutrients are being removed from farmland. ?Agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwater in the world each year. The study found that many farmers are wasting water supplies. In addition, chemicals designed to protect crops may pollute waterways. ?The report also says as much as thirty percent of the world’s forests have been cut down so the land could be used for agriculture. This has led to a severe loss of wildlife and their environments. ?

11.Which is not mentioned in the passage as an aspect that farming activities are damaging??
12. How can the group carry out their studies??
13. According to this passage, why the farming activities can affect the animals??

Passage Two?
American scientists are developing maps that can identify areas of future flooding. The maps also may help scientists estimate the possibility of extremely dry weather and severe storms. ?Tom Jackson of the United States Department of Agriculture prepared the map after the April flood. He used information provided by satellites in Earth orbit. ?
The maps are produced from dish receivers on the satellites. Each dish receiver measures the wetness of the soil by capturing the natural release of microwave radiation from the soil. The receivers turn rapidly. This provides complete coverage of each area the satellite passes over. ?
Mr. Jackson and other scientists have tested Aqua’s equipment in airplanes and satellites flying over several states. The scientists used the tests to develop ways to change the information gathered into maps. ?
Mr. Jackson now plans to compare the microwave dish receiver findings with information from tests on Earth’s soil. He will use instruments at Agricultural Research Service centers in four states. He also will study information provided by forty ground observation centers across the country. ?

14. Why American scientists are developing these maps??
15. How can the satellites catch the information about the soil??
16. What is the future work planned to do??

Passage Three?
Scientists say sharks have lived in the world’s oceans for millions of years. Scientists say there are more than three-hundred-fifty different kinds of sharks. ?Sharks do not have bones, and a shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks also sense electrical and magnetic power linked to nerves and muscles of living animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. Some sharks will eat just about anything. Many unusual things have been found in the stomachs of some tiger sharks. They include shoes, dogs, a cow’s foot and metal protective clothing. ?About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies like humans do. Scientists are beginning to understand the importance of sharks to humans. Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark’s body defense system against disease. They know that sharks recover quickly from injuries. Sharks appear never to suffer infections, cancer or heart diseases. ?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.? Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
Opinion polls are now beginning to show that,whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to say.This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.?
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work??
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now becoming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.?
Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live.?
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.?
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.?All this may now have to change.?The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. ?
21.What is the main idea of the passage??
A) Employment became widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries.?
B) Unemployment will remain a major problem for industrialized nations.?
C) The industrial age may now be coming to an end.?
D) Some efforts and resources should be devoted to helping more people cope with the problem of unemployment. ?
22.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the spread of employment??
A) The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries.?
B) The development of factories.?
C) Relief from housework on the part of women.?
D) Development of modern means of transportation. ?
23.It can be inferred from the passage that____.?
A) most people who have been polled believe that the problem of unemployment may not be solved within a short period of time?
B) many farmers lost their land when new railways and factories were being constructed?
C) in preindustrial societies housework and community service were mainly carried out by women?
D) some of the changes in work pattern that the industrial age brought have been reversed?
24.What does the word “daunting” in the third paragraph mean??
A) Shocking B) Interesting?C) Confusing D) Stimulating ?
25.Which of the following is NOT suggested as a possible means to cope with the current situation??
A) Create situations in which people work for themselves.?
B) Treat employment as the norm.?
C) Endeavor to revive the household and the neighborhood as centers of production.?
D) Encourage people to work in circumstances other than normal working conditions.
